topspeed.com - 2009 Volkswagen Passat CC

The Passat CC is a pure four-seater. The coupé philosophy is ref lected in the interior in this seat layout too. Both in front and in the rear, ergonomically designed sport seats of the highest caliber are used.

A total of three new leather sport steering wheels are available for the Passat CC. They all have three spokes, where the lower spoke was designed as a kind of dual spoke with an integrated metal application. Depending on the version, the multifunction keys in the steering wheel can be used to control the trip computer, various assistance systems, the audio systems and telephone. On vehicles with automatic transmission, there is also the option of up- and downshifting by paddles in the vicinity of the two lateral spokes on the steering wheel. Also new on board is the button for controlling the “Dynamic Drive Control” system (DDC with a Normal, Comfort and Sport mode); it is located on the center tunnel just to the right of the gearshift knob.

The Passat CC is being offered with numerous new and innovative vehicle dynamic technologies. A highlight here is the "Lane Assist" lane keeping assistant being introduced for the first time on a Volkswagen.

Newly developed is the "Media-In" multimedia socket. This USB interface can be used to integrate iPods and many other current MP3 and DVD players in the particular audio system installed in the Passat CC.

Protecting the rear passengers from curious onlookers and the sun is an electrically actuated rear window screen.

Of particular note is that the Passat CC debuts a next-generation radio and navigation system, but we're hoping its developers skipped more than one generation. The current VW radio-nav combo is so unintuitive and slow that we wouldn't be surprised to peel the faceplate back and find a lobotomized gnome calculating our station tuning and nav routes on a broken abacus. It's that bad.

True to the coupe theme, the Passat CC has only two seats in back, with a small storage console and fold-down armrest in the middle.
